Re: [ver. 1.5] Specifying custom User model (extends AbstractUser) doesn't work

Hi,

You can extend Default Django User model without breaking its architecture. Just visit http://www.f2finterview.com/web/Django/21/ It will explain you in detail.

If you're going to give advice, it's probably a good idea to check that your advice is current.

The approach that the original poster has suggested is in no way "breaking the architecture" of Django - it's one of the new features in Django 1.5. 

As a side effect of the changes introduced in 1.5, the API you've suggested (AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE) has been deprecated. It will raise warnings if used in Django 1.5 and 1.6, and be removed completely in Django 1.7. 

Yours,
